Breaking up is hard

By: Series: Building ; 266(8177) 23 March 2001, 49(1)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Discusses the sensitive area, particularly in today's climate of partnering, of termination clauses. The standard forms of contract, JCT98 for instance, devote a number of pages to this situation. However, alongside the rights spelt out in these termination clauses, the common law rule about "recission" or "repudiation" of contract may come into play. Discusses the common law rule, illustrating that its application in construction disputes is far from clear-cut.
